Abaloparatide Increases Lumbar Spine and Hip BMD in Japanese Patients With Osteoporosis: The Phase 3 ACTIVE-J Study

Toshio Matsumoto, Teruki Sone, Satoshi Soen, Sakae Tanaka, Akiko Yamashita, Tetsuo Inoue

Summary: This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) in Japanese patients with osteoporosis at high fracture risk. The results showed that abaloparatide significantly increased BMD and prevented new vertebral fractures.

Regional distribution of computed tomography attenuation across the lumbar endplate

Kazuyuki Segami, Alejandro A. Espinoza Orias, Hiroe Miyamoto, Koji Kanzaki, Howard S. An, Nozomu Inoue

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of bone mineral density within the spinal endplate, revealing that the S1 endplate had the highest HU values. The inferior endplates had significantly higher HU values compared to superior endplates within the same vertebra, while HU values were significantly higher in endplates cranial to the disc than caudal to the disc. Attenuation in the peripheral region was significantly higher than in the central region, with the posterior region and left region having higher HU values than the anterior and right regions, respectively.

Correlation of quantitative computed tomography derived bone density values with Hounsfield units of a contrast medium computed tomography in 98 thoraco-lumbar vertebral bodies

Fabian Buenger, Yasser Sakr, Niklas Eckardt, Christian Senft, Falko Schwarz

Summary: This study found a strong correlation between Hounsfield units (HU) measured in contrast medium CT and bone density values, regardless of patients' gender. No correlation differences were found when HU were measured at different levels. A simple formula was developed to estimate bone density values based on HU.

Spine or Hip First? Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Sequential Lumbar Spine or Hip Surgery

Steven E. Zhang, Alex J. Anatone, Mark P. Figgie, William J. Long, Alejandro Gonzalez Della Valle, Gwo-Chin Lee

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of sequential lumbar spine (LSP) or hip arthroplasty (THA). It found that patients undergoing THA first had lower risk of subsequent surgery, opioid requirement, and risk of postoperative instability compared to patients having lumbar procedure first. Therefore, it is recommended to perform THA first for patients with concurrent spine disease and hip arthritis.

Plasma Levels of Branched Chain Amino Acids, Incident Hip Fractures, and Bone Mineral Density of the Hip and Spine

Laura Carbone, Petra Buzkova, Howard A. Fink, John A. Robbins, Joshua Barzilay, Rachel E. Elam, Carlos Isales, Margery A. Connelly, Kenneth J. Mukamal

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and hip fractures and bone mineral density (BMD) in older individuals. After 12 years of follow-up, no significant association was found between BCAA concentrations and hip fracture risk. However, leucine concentrations were positively correlated with BMD in the hip and femoral neck. Further research is needed to determine whether BCAAs could be novel targets for osteoporosis therapies.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Increases Risk of Medical Complications Following Posterior Lumbar Fusion

Joshua Bell, Sean Sequeira, Pramod Kamalapathy, Varun Puvanesarajah, Hamid Hassanzadeh

Summary: This study found that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgery are at increased risk for 90-day readmission, thromboembolic events, sepsis, pneumonia, and wound complications compared to patients without RA. Additionally, RA patients have a higher rate of reoperation within 2 years of the index surgery. Furthermore, RA independently contributes to higher medical costs following surgery.

Katharina Jaeckle, Sophia Lueken, Paul Jonathan Roch, Friederike Sophie Klockner, Max Reinhold, Marc-Pascal Meier, Thelonius Hawellek, Wolfgang Lehmann, Lukas Weiser

Summary: Osteoporosis is a disease with increased fracture risk, and early diagnosis is crucial. We tested the effect of contrast agent application on bone density measurements and found that it significantly altered the values. However, location-specific conversion factors can be established for diagnosis.

A single center prospective study: Influences of different hip flexion angles on the measurement of lumbar spine bone mineral density by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry

Lisheng Yan, Donglu Cai, Huafeng Zhuang, Yongjun Lin

Summary: The study found that there was no significant difference in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) under different hip flexion angles. Hip flexion of 90 degrees showed a positive correlation with hip flexion of 45 degrees and 0 degrees in terms of lumbar BMD. There was no significant difference in the diagnosis of BMD between hip flexion of 90 degrees and 45 degrees, as well as between hip flexion of 90 degrees and 0 degrees.

Treat-to-target in systemic lupus erythematosus: advancing towards its implementation

Agner R. Parra Sanchez, Alexandre E. Voskuyl, Ronald E. van Vollenhoven

Summary: The treat-to-target (T2T) concept, which involves choosing a specific target, evaluating the outcomes, and taking action accordingly, has been successful in improving outcomes for patients with diabetes, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, the application of this approach in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) requires measurable and achievable outcomes, as well as more therapeutic options. Currently, the available therapeutic options for SLE are limited, and there is a need for more effective and safer treatments. Fortunately, there have been significant advancements in clinical trial activity for SLE, especially with the development of novel therapies. With these expected advancements, it is likely that a wider range of treatments will be available for SLE in the near future, allowing for the routine implementation of a treat-to-target approach.

Summary: This study investigated the disease severity of COVID-19 in patients with rheumatic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) and the development of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in these patients. The study found that patients with IMIDs, especially those treated with B-cell targeting therapy, were more likely to be hospitalized when infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, treatment with other drugs did not have negative effects on the development of long-lasting humoral immunity against SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: Specific immunosuppressants may impair humoral responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Most patients receiving immunosuppressant therapy show similar humoral responses to controls after standard vaccination, although antibody titres may be moderately reduced. However, a third vaccination can enhance immune responses in patients with poor humoral responses.
